INTRODUCTION

The R5505 and R5506 are full-featured disc players, support-

ing DVD, CD-Video, CD-Audio, and MP3 playback, and are

designed specifically for the mobile environment. They are

intended for use with other Rosen/necvox products and

Rosen/necvox video monitors, and can also be integrated

with many other products as part of a complete mobile video

solution. With a digital audio output, they can also support

use of optional digital audio processors. These DVD players

incorporate many different video output settings to allow the

best possible viewing experience, regardless of what type of

video monitor you may be using.

The R5505 and R5506 play DVD discs in PAL or NTSC

formats (NTSC is the standard North American video format),

CD-Audio discs, and CD-recordable discs with MP3 files. For

more details on disc types supported, please see “Discs

Played by the Unit”

The remote control (included) provides access to the full set

of standard DVD functions, such as subtitle control, digital

freeze-frame viewing, viewing from multiple camera angles,

selection of various language audio soundtracks, and digital

playback at fast or slow speeds.

Note:

• The R5505 and R5506 are designed to be components in a full

audio/video system. If you have any questions about compatible

components, such as monitors, FM modulators, or other audio/

video products, contact your authorized Rosen/necvox dealer.

FCC Approval

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the

FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-

ence to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to consult the

dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Handling Discs

Always handle a disc by its edges. Never touch the surface of

the disc directly. To remove inadvertent fingerprints and dust,

use a soft cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center of

the disc to the outside edge. Never use liquid or aerosol

cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean the disc surface.

Do not place discs in the following places: direct sunlight; dirty,

dusty and damp areas; near car heaters; on the seats or

dashboard. Avoid using adhesive labels on discs.

Liquids and the DVD player

Keep all liquids, including beverages and cleaning liquids,

away from the DVD player. Liquids inside the player can

damage the electronics, and result in electrical shock or fire.

If the unit or the remote control should become wet, turn off all

power and contact an authorized Rosen/necvox dealer to

have the system inspected.

Servicing the DVD player

This unit uses a precision mechanism. In the event that

trouble arises, never open the case, disassemble the unit, or

lubricate the rotating parts.

6 R5505

Do not attempt to open the unit or the remote control. The

internal parts are not serviceable by the user. Opening any of

the components will void the warranty. THIS IS A CLASS I

LASER PRODUCT, USING A LASER WHICH COULD CAUSE

HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE IF IMPROPERLY

DISASSEMBLED. All service should be performed by autho-

rized Rosen service centers or other qualified service

personnel.

CAUTION!

Changes or modifications to this product not

approved by the manufacturer will void the

warranty and will violate FCC approval.

Temperature and Moisture

If the player is used while the interior of the vehicle is very

cold, condensation may form on the disc or on the internal

optical pickup system and prevent proper playing of the disc. If

you suspect that condensation is an issue, eject the disc and

inspect the playing surface. If necessary, remove the conden-

sation with a clean soft cloth as described above. If you still

experience problems with playback, you will need to wait for

approximately one hour to allow the DVD player to warm up,

and for the condensation to evaporate. If playback issues

continue, please see your authorized Rosen/necvox dealer.

YES

The parental setting of this

WATCHING BROADCAST TELEVISION

Using the TV Tuner in the R5505

The R5505 has a built-in TV tuner. With an optional antenna

(not included), broadcast television can be received and

viewed on the monitor connected to the R5505.

Use the [A-B/SAV/ERS] button to store stations, and to erase

stations which have been stored.

Note:

• Television reception is greatly influenced by terrain, atmospheric

conditions, and the location of the receiver. When viewing

broadcast television in a moving vehicle, various types of

interference are often experienced. This is inherent in the nature

of analog broadcast television (and why cable was invented!).

R5505 13

MP3 PLAYBACK ON CD-R DISCS

MP3 Disc Recording and File Extensions

file cannot be played. In addition, if you use upper case and

lower case letters (capital and small letters) mixed together

for file extensions, normal play may not be possible.

Installation and Wiring

1. Before Starting

Read these instructions and the following precautions

carefully.

WARNING!

Be sure to disconnect the battery (-)

terminal before starting. This is to

prevent short circuits during installation.

Precautions

• This unit is exclusively for cars with a negative ground, 12V

power supply.

• Do not open the case. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

If you drop anything into the unit during installation, consult your

dealer or an authorized Rosen service center.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the case. Never use a rough cloth,

thinner, benzene, alcohol, or other solvent. For tough dirt, apply a

small amount of cold or warm water to a soft cloth and gently

wipe.

R5505 15

Next, use these screws to attach the mounting brackets to the

unit. Depending on the installation location, you will orient

them either up or down.

Finally, attach the mounting brackets to the mounting surface

in a safe and secure fashion.

4. Installing the DVD player

Mounting the

DVD player

First, temporarily remove the Phillips side screws from the

unit as shown.

WARNING!

Always use great care when attaching

anything to a vehicle! Visually inspect all

sides of any potential screw location, to

insure no damage will occur. If you have

questions about this process, see your

authorized Rosen dealer.

CAUTION!

Do not overtighten the screws on uneven

surfaces! This can cause damage to the

unit. If an even mounting surface can-

not be found, fabricate a flat panel,

mount the unit to it, and mount that

panel to the vehicle

16 R5505

Wiring the DVD player

Read the following precautions before wiring your system.

• Disconnect the negative battery terminal before making

any wiring connections.

• Be particularly careful where you route wires. Keep them

away from the engine, exhaust system, etc. Heat may

damage wires.

• If the fuse should blow, make sure all connections are

correct and no wires are damaged before replacing the

fuse. Always use fuses that are the same amperage value

as the original. When replacing a fuse, never let the battery

side touch any metal part or any other wire.

WARNING!

Not all Rosen and Rosen/necvox products

use identically-wired four-pin power

harnesses! ONLY use the four-pin power

harness supplied with this unit! Use of any

other four-pin harness may cause failure

NOT covered by the manufacturer’s

warranty!
